In conclusion, we come back to the very key Amendment 217. The noble Lord, Lord Burns, made a compelling argument that all of us should think very carefully before we seek to negative and opt out of a consensus view that was reached—as we understand it from the noble Lord, Lord Burns—unanimously so far as any future members of trade unions were concerned. What could be more compelling than that? We wait with great interest to hear what the Minister is going to say. I personally found the arguments of the noble Lord, Lord Burns, to be as compelling now as they were in 2016.
